Endangered Languages

The United Nations predicts that over half of the world’s 7000 languages will become extinct by the end of the 21st century. It is our goal at PISL Research to preserve as much of the cultural, historical, and scientific value of a language as possible for current and future generations. Many other linguists are working together on a global scale to protect these endangered languages as well. Here is another project (by Bowery Arts and Sciences) summarizing the value of language preservation.
